How to choose the right thermose for your needs
The best thermose is the one that best meets your needs. At Biltema you can buy your new vacuum mugs, vacuum jugs, or food flasks. But to find the thermose that suits you best, consider what you will use it for.
Some of the properties you should consider include:
- Coffee thermose or food flask – What will you use the thermose for? If you want to keep food warm, a food flask is preferable. On the other hand, a coffee thermose is the best option for keeping coffee hot.
- Volume – the volume of your thermose depends on several factors. One of the most important factors is whether you will share the drink with others. Another factor is what you will be doing. For example, if you are going ice fishing, it is easy to take a vacuum mug along. But if you’re going to hike a longer distance, it’s less convenient to carry a heavy thermose.
- Material and durability – if you will be using your vacuum mug outdoors, it should be durable. A stainless steel coffee thermose is durable even in freezing temperatures. Stainless steel is also advantageous since the material is non-toxic.
- Insulating properties – you want your food or drink to stay warm for as long as possible. It is precisely this insulating property that makes a thermose so useful. That’s why you should choose a vacuum mug that retains heat for as long as you need. The insulating properties can also keep cold drinks cold for longer on hot summer days.
